SGML Services

Consulting. Mulberry Technologies, Inc. provides support for both existing and new SGML applications. We help clients to expand or modify their current DTDs and SGML infrastructure, and to develop new DTDs as needed.

Design. Mulberry's SGML designs are quite conservative: we generally avoid the less widely implemented SGML features and those that increase the complexity of processing SGML documents. In many cases, we suggest an SGML subset that is compatible with XML; we use richer SGML features only when there is a clear need for them.

Classes. We aim to provide class participants with the knowledge and experience to maintain their own SGML applications. We teach not only SGML principles and practices: we also teach students how to reach the SGML specification.

IV&Vs. There is no substitute for a second pair of eyes, and an experienced eye is even better. We provide a “look over your shoulder” – for each other, as well as for clients. The earlier someone says “It would work better if ...”, the less it costs to make the change. In an SGML IV&V we also look for the use of features that may make processing more difficult or impede conversion to XML.
